So I got my very first Kernel Panic today after owning the system for 9 months. I have a 2 GHz 20" iMac G5 with 1GB of Apple RAM. My Software is completely up to date, and I just installed iLife 2006 a week ago.

I had the following Applications Open:
Mail, Safari, iChat, and iTunes. My wife was also logged in with Mail and iChat running on her ID.

I was watching a Video in iTunes that I had ripped from a DVD that I own via Handbrake. I then docked my iPod while the video was playing and it started to sync. I was 1/2 way through the sync when I recieved the Kernel Panic.

Ya, that's what I did when I got that message in the Disk Utility. I hope the HD's not failing as the entire unit was replaced less than 2 months ago by Apple Might be time to invest in a copy of Disk Warrior since I have no real HD Utilities on my iMac.
